Seagate has long been both an innovator and a crowd-pleaser in terms of data storage technology. The new ST31500341AS is the latest in a long line of Barracuda drives, with a storage and speed seldom seen. Designed with noise- suppression engineering and state-of-the-art speed and power this 1.5 TB powerhouse offers a brilliant combination of technology and low cost of ownership. Idling at only eight watts, this drive delivers up to 43% power savings over earlier generations without sacrificing performance. When supported by the latest firmware updates, downloadable from Seagate once you've purchased your drive, this spectacular unit offers the best of both worlds -- top performance and a very small eco-footprint, so you know you have an industry leader AND are doing something good for the environment.
